Surf Guide

Ibaraki

The incomplete guide to surfing in Japan.

Kanagawa Nearly every island nation has surf, and Japan is no different. There is literally surf from Hokkaido down to Kyushu, as well as the far-flung islands. OJ’s Surf Guide doesn’t cover everything. What it does cover is the areas most accessible to most of us, namely in and around the Kanto and Chubu regions. The east coast of Japan gets waves, good waves, and if you are brave enough to challenge getting wet in winter, you are in for a treat. We haven’t included everything; after all, surfing is all about adventure and discovery. There are plenty of breaks accessible by train, but to get to the good stuff you’ll want your own vehicle so you can explore new breaks, and take in the natural surroundings at your own pace. So, what are you waiting for? Roll up this mag, throw it in your back pocket, and go surfing!
